sewing merino?? HELP

I just used a piece of merino as a wrap. I didn't need to stitch the edges & 18 months later & many machine washes it's still going strong.

Sounds lovely A wrap sounds good - you want it to be at least 1mx1m and single thickness would be fine. Like Kels said, you can just overlock the edges. If you want to get fancy, you can make an edging and sew it on (like they do on the ready-made blankets).

To do this, you need to:
a) cut edging for each side - 4 strips, each about 4-5 cm wide.
b) attach the edging to the main piece, right sides together
c) overlock/zigzag them together
d) fold the edging up and over. Using straight stitch, attach it on the back side to cover the zig zag stitch.

This explains it better (a slightly different way of doing it).

I just came across this and am bumping it up to the top!

Does anyone know of any good free patterns for sewing merino that I can download or find online? Or even tutorials?

I made a bodysuit out of merino for my bubs, just traced around another one for the pattern lol. Anyway, whatever you sew, make sure you use a ball-point needle (that's what the lady in the shop told me when I bought the fabric - can't remember exactly the reason for it though, someone else might know??)

thanks ladies! And thank you for the tip about the ballpoint needle!
